Ryuen' s POV

It's been a long time since i stepped foot on the school ground and so far it's been light work.

Although been placed in Class1 C made me question if i was incapable of being put in A, i quickly dismissed this thought. Why the fuck should i be complaining, life ain't gonna give you what you want or let you have it your way, i sure am not the smartest but i know i got cunning, i mean what's the point of being put in Class A when i can work my way to the top and solidify that i am above this school full of pussies and wimps.

I desire competition?

No, i just like to crush the dreams of my opponent's, their opportunities and efforts, i love to crush em.

Ibuki came walking to my desk after class.

" Hey, Ryuen. We need to talk"

Ibuki is petite girl with that short blue hair and arrogant look on her face. looking at her reminded me of myself.

" Sorry Ibuki, can't talk right now"

" But you're literally doing nothing but spreading yourself on that damn chair" I mused at her disapproving face.

"Kuku, you see sometimes doing nothing is the best activity of the day if ya know what i mean. A man once said " Man's greatest problem, stems from the lack of ability to sit in his own silence"

Ibuki had a confused look on her face after what i said, Her face shifted from confused to a smirk.

" Say Ryuen, i didn't know you had a relationship with books, hell even a guy like knows philosophy"

What she said stinged me a bit, but i just smiled while chuckling.

" Don't worry my relationship with books are almost non-existent, but i know a handful that has a weight in life lessons. Safe to say i would have that kind of relationship with you."

Ibuki face then changed the third time to a monotone look. " Is that really a pick up line, and if it is, you failed miserably"

" Kukuku, let's stop the fooling around, what do wanted to say on the first place. I believe I already made myself clear that we are going to attack that muscle head regardless of the time we spent in this school"

" Ryuen, expelling someone in another class is kinda reckless. infact we are making an enemy of the whole year if we do such."

I understand what she was saying, but she isn't seeing the bigger picture here.

" You see that in your perspective, it looked reckless isn't? but have you thought or considered the rules of this school"

" I- I.... im familiar with some of them, but still "

She trailed off her speech

" Think Ibuki. If we successfully expel Sudo, we will be making him a scape goat here by seeing the results of the expulsion of any student in a given class. What are the repercussion, are they any rewards in doing so, how will it affect they're class???. I considered all these things before making this decision"

"So you're saying that he is a test subject in your little experiment?"

" Kuku any problem, Ibuki?

" You're messed up"

"Yeah I am, but in reality humans are the most messed up creatures. You see, targeting Sudo was to going to make this task easy and if he falls for it, he is as stupid as he looks. That way, we will reduce the they're class points and be ahead of them, giving them a gap and also weighing the possibilities of expulsion."

" Killing two birds..... with one stone " She said holding her chin in a thinking posture.

" You caught up?" I teased her while smirking.

" I acknowledge your street smart and i appreciate it, that you didn't make a decision without thinking of the consequences, but expelling a student?"

" Let me ask you question." Ibuki's ear perked up.

" This school, why do you think this school is made like this? Do you think that not taking an action that affects the well-being of a classmate deem you a good person."

" What!!! who gives a fuck about the well being of a student, I'm considering what will our class be if we made other classes weary of us."

She posed the same question earlier

" It seems you're still left in the dark. There is a reason i chose to take this route, Ibuki this school let's students observe and understand the prowess of other students and classes. So take for example even if we managed to expell Sudo, what do you think the other classes will do?"

" They're gonna think we're gonna do the same to them"

" Again you're wrong, infact the complete opposite."

" We going to be acknowledged, Ibuki" She looks at me like a puzzle she was trying to solve.

" Acknowledge.... that's not...."

" You thought far ahead, but you didn't apply the logic of the school itself, which is why you came to that conclusion"

She kept quiet as the silence filled the now empty class room. I stood up from where i was previously seated and headed for the door, i stopped and i looked at Ibuki.

She locked eyes with me yet again.

" What's with that look in your eyes, Ibuki?"

" Don't mess this class up, Ryuen" Although Ibuki does not approve of my methods of dictatorship in the class, she approves of it's effectiveness.

This class has some handful of capable students, but don't seem to have the capability to squabble in a mind game. It hasn't been a long time in this school but i am sure that i haven't seen the other classes course of action.

This should be fun.

School hall way

I walked down the hallway, reminiscing about my conversation with Ibuki a while ago, until i saw familiar figure resting on the wall to my right.

" Hey, Ryuen. Let's have a chat."

This idiot, i thought i beat him up very good the other day, not even a scratch on him, it's interesting that he was waiting for me outside the class though, i wonder what he wants to discuss.

" You gonna answer me or just keep smirking like an idiot"

" Bold words coming from you, how about we picked up where we left the other day"

He sighed as he spoke " No thanks, i think i had enough knuckle sandwiches for today. Instead i have some questions that might interest you"

Question's? where the hell is he getting at.

" Oh yeah, not interested so you better fuck off" saying this i thought he will make his reasons clear on why he wants to question me.

" You see Ryuen, this isn't the best place to talk about this. how about we go to the Cafe."

He refused letting out his motives, am also very curious. Before even piecing my thoughts together he starts walking off, urging me to follow from behind.

I made the decision to follow him, to also see what questions he has for me.

Somewhere in Keyaki Mall

Nero didn't start speaking but rather started looking at me, it was getting on my nerves.

" You gonna talk or you just gonna keep looking at me."

" Sorry.... I was observing"

" Observing? Well i ain't got time for that "

" You're quite impatient, Ryuen i suggest you should order a cup of coffee or tea to relax?"

Now he's tugging on my nerves i stood up from my seat ready to take my leave.

" Your method of expelling Sudo will be prove to be a failure, it's quite unpolished, Ryuen"

He knows about my plans on expelling Sudo, that was not a surprise seeing that wasn't really keeping it a secret from the class, what he has to say about the plan is what interests me.

" Well i assume you're finally going to talk yeah, so tell me what you have on that info, trying to use it to black mail me?"

" Stop forcing allegations on me, I don't really intend on using this information for my own gain but rather to add to plan and make it flawless"

Flawless, kuku ,this guy makes me laugh

" I don't get you, what do you mean flawless? I already see perfection on my plans"

" Ryuen kun, I just want to share my thoughts to what you have already plan."

" Which is?..."

" You are planning to make Daich Ichizaki and some other students of Class 1 C to fight with him, how will they pull it off? by taunting him, considering his aggressive attitude he will take this bait. But what i don't know is how you're gonna make this case Sudo's fault when it was obviously your minions who started the fight"

" Well, it's not anything much but it's straight forward in the sense that they will allow him to overpower them"

" And you will file a complaint to the school of the fight? am also assuming for you to pull this off you're gonna need a location that is free from the camera monitoring the area, while the fight goes own"

" Well, you ain't wrong, now cut to the chase. What are your proposals" Nero twindle with his finger then directed his gaze at me.

" It's a dim-wiited plan"

Okay that pissed me off but yet again i have to wait for his own perspective about the matter.

" Why do you say so? it's not like there's a student capable of solving this case down to the grain"

" Which is exactly why it's a shallow plan, you don't know what the other classes are capable of and you're already understimating them. You'd have to close off any chances of the opposition to use against you Ryuen kun"

" What do you propose?"

" I see that you're using a handful of classmates. But think why don't it seem strange that a singular individual beat up a group of students, no matter the level of martial arts, it is as hard as it gets as the number increases in a fight"

" Speaking like you're a martial artist"

" Common sense isn't common, with that they would come to a conclusion that your minions are lying, such as why would Sudo be unharmed, and the these guys was beaten with bruises as they're trade mark. Yet another point it seems."

"So you're saying all in all that one guy would be enough? "

" No, two would be the most believable number in the fight. if i wasn't there and i heared a fight happened between two students and Sudo, with the results ended up being Sudo beating them on a knuckle brawl, i would believe this theory, given Sudo's physique"

" Interesting i should start taking some notes, but don't be cocky...."

"It would benefit you if you also had witnesses that prove the false innocence of your minions, so positioning some students to see the whole fight would be also necessary"

" That way, could control the whole situation even if Class 1 D have a witness"

" Yes"

Nero, this guy is highly perceptive of people and his deduction skills would be credible if this whole scheme of his turned out true.

He stood up ready to take his leave as he turned to me to voice his final thoughts.

" Ryuen kun, keep in my mind that you aren't doing this to win, even if it did prove successful..... know it was a flop"

" Don't give me advice on the outcome of things, i didn't intend on winning from the start, but it was an option."

" Yeah and also be careful of your minions, if they see that they were found out they would be faced with expulsion and they might be forced to reveal they're leader which is you, Ryuen kun"

" I know and understand the danger of this operation. You don't have to tell me"

He looked at me with a hollow eye as he walks away. I was never the leader of the class. it never crossed my mind, I am a selfish dictator.

But I guess that's my way of doing things.
